Urbanism
“Today, 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 68% by 2050. Projections show that urbanization, the gradual shift in residence of the human population from rural to urban areas, combined with the overall growth of the world’s population could add another 2.5 billion people to urban areas by 2050.” These data of the United Nations indicate that the public, private sector, designers and producers have a major role in meeting this rapid growth in cities. It is the responsibility of these parties to provide the best service to the people in the cities that are decreasing public space areas day by day. As one of these, URBA offers contemporary design and technology solutions by producing durable products for urban use. Our main aim is to re-interpret traditional urban needs with contemporary design and technology tools and create solutions for emerging needs. To meet the demands of urbanization, URBA aims to be a solution partner. One of the largest metropolises in the world, Istanbul is aiming to use its experience and design focus for the whole world.
Design
URBA; designs modern urban furniture in line with the changing technology and urban needs. Durability and function oriented design approach in urban scale and usage. The main aim of URBA is to produce people-oriented solutions and urban furniture with the design details produced with modern technology. In the design approach, URBA aims to take sustainable solutions and minimize carbon foot print from detail to production, logistics to application.
Production
Blending steel structure to maximize strength and raw wood materials. Production concept combining modern technology and production techniques with strengthening details. Guaranteed for up to 20 years of durability in product coatings and materials. Urban solutions and city furniture production that will provide maximum durability for nature conditions and vandalism.
Sustainability
"Sustainable design is not just about the materials you use to make products, but also about what the products do.” Blending steel structure to maximize strength and raw wood materials. R & D and design integration on emerging and sustainable materials (bioplastic, recycled materials). Product integration of sustainable energy resources. Carbon emission reduction solutions in software-supported transportation for cities.
About the data
The 2018 Revision of the World Urbanization Prospects is published by the Population Division of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA). It has been issued regularly since 1988 with revised estimates and projections of the urban and rural populations for all countries of the world, and of their major urban agglomerations.
